Goose looks familiar like C or Rust, and is built on one idea: there is no heap . Every dynamic value lives inline on a data stack the compiler manages, growth is a pointer bump, and scope exit is the only free. The rest of the language is what it takes to make that work for real programs, and what it buys is measurable.
